    Hey Ron, good to hear from you. How's the progress going on the new shop? Do you have a set location yet? We are still working out the planning stages and the financing. Have you started shopping vendors yet? Keep in touch.

    Hey Ron, Good to see you on the site. I believe there is a web site where you can get the shirt. I will find it and get it to you. Say hi to Patricia for me.

    Still putting together the biz plan. I am approved to leave the AF, though, this summer! That's a big step in the right direction! I will incorporate in the next couple of weeks...

    hey ron, you'd be surprised how much the philippines have grown in terms of the coffee industry as of late. there's this new cafe in gbelt5 (mall) wherein they even have the famed coffee from cat's poo. haha they call it the alamid blend and goes for P2T per pack. haven't tried it out though. they do have arabica now in benguet and baguio. i'm still deciding though whether i should source my beans locally or international. there's this new company also which imports green beans and then roast it on their own. tried that one out and its pretty good.

    maybe i should. :) i do need more experience in the local industry though and need to open my own coffee place to build up credibility in that industry. the american barista school is a very good foundation though.
